> $5 is practically nothing
That’s quite a privileged thing to say. This forum is read by folk all across the world and I would say that it’s up to each individual to say how much $5 means to them.

- wrasee 2y agoI’m not. I’m pushing back against folk that forget not everyone thinks the same as them. That “$5 is practically nothing” reads like a statement of fact, which is obviously ridiculous depending on where you’re from. And yes, it definitely has a “let them eat cake” vibe which is absolutely worth a push back.
- Aeolun 2y ago$5 was barely anything even when I was a student. Sure, there’s places in the world where it’s still a lot of money, but (good) search is a valuable service. Google proves that. If someone does not want to pay $5 then they’re perfectly within their rights to do so, but saying it’s “a lot of money” feels like pinching pennies. By comparison to any other plan that’s practically the lowest you’ll ever see.
